Channeling the spirit of Tommy from Early Doors
Going to see Scott Lavene in Guildford tomorrow. Only 8 tickets left. Which is nice for my old mate Chris who's been quietly yet consistently putting live music on in the Aldershot and Guildford area for over 30 years.

Just got an email from my local theatre advertising their Christmas panto this year.
Does anyone really buy tickets for these things ten months in advance? especially when it's unlikely to sell out every night if previous years are anything to go by.

You see a lot of things being a postie. Today I witnessed a manager in a Morrison's store telling someone they could go for a break. The young lady declined. Never in 30 years has a Royal Mail manager told me I could go for a break. They actually question you when you take one.

It's trivial compared to everything else but it was Mandelson who first started the privatisation of Royal Mail in 2009. He was probably still involved in 2013 when Lazard, who he worked for, became advisors to the coalition government. They made over £8 million in a week after privatisation.

Down the pub. The Jukebox has just played Ace Of Spades live. Good stuff. Next up, some reggae tune I had to Shazam. Too Rude by The Rolling Stones. I never knew they had a reggae phase. Mind blown.

I don't vote along party lines, I prefer independents who are free of the party political shitshow here in the UK, but the more I read about Polanski the more I'm leaning towards the Greens. I'm not naive enough to believe they'll do everything they say but just half of it will be an improvement.

I suppose I should thank my new loud neighbours for forcing me to listen to Radio 6 to cover their constant jabber.
Today I've listened to some rather good modern jazz and I'm even enjoying Craig Charles' funk and soul show.
Me. Enjoying jazz and funk. For the first time ever. I'm 57.

Got the radio on in the background. There's jazz playing. All of a sudden Fugazi and The Ex get mentioned. Who are they talking to? No-one in the UK mentions The Ex these days.

With music venues in crisis, does celebrating them as places where bands appeared on the way to fame overshadow their true purpose as the places in which music is played for the sake of communal joy?

This reminds me of the Conservative standing in Surrey Heath after Gove resigned saying his links to the constituency included being at the RMAS for a while. That's in Bracknell Forest.
He lost. First time in my lifetime we haven't had a Conservative MP.

Metro false headline:
“Almost 90 arrested over mass trespass at prison in support of hunger striker”
There was no “trespass”. It was the public entrance, accessed through the public open gate. A few entered the public visitor lobby via the open door.

🚨URGENT: over 20 pro-Palestine supporters, at Wormwood Scrubs for hunger striker Umer Khalid, have been arrested - and it's likely it will hit 50. One of those arrested was Canary videographer Ibrahim Abul-Essad, who was filming the protest and not directly involved.

Delighted to see they still sell Matey bubble bath. It was Mr Matey when I was a kid in the 1970s but we've moved on from then.

There isn't a decent site that just lists gigs in the UK like we used to have in Sounds / NME etc.
There used to be one tied to a punk website but that's bitten the dust.
Might have to do the DIY punk thing and start one myself.
Now then - how does one start a website?
